The Heat disrespect is unreal

[Jrgum3]

if LeBron had not walked over Dray Green and grazed his nuts on Dray's head (a major sign of disrespect to another man) then Dray would not have been suspended for Game 5 back in Oakland and you guys would have won the series 4-1.

major asterisk next to that come back.

Boston being the first team in 151 tries to come back from 0-3 would be historical and incredible and i am rooting for it.

Yes that is true and its not lost on me. Draymond getting suspended was BS and a huge reason Cleveland won game 5 but Boston is the 2 seed and led the NBA in net rating this year. They were supposed to win this series and Miami wasn't even supposed to be here. The only reason why its even brought up is no team has ever made a 0-3 comeback but Boston is different. They weren't the underdogs here like most teams down 0-3. They have home court advantage and massive momentum headed into a game 6 on the road. It'll be hard but not as hard as people think because Boston has already won a game 6 on the road down 3-2 against an opponent I consider tougher than Miami.

I actually think this isn't the greatest comeback in NBA history if it happens because I almost expect it to happen. The greatest comeback in NBA history unfortunately is when Lebron James beat my Warriors after being down 3-1 in the Finals. I only say that because the Warriors were 73-9 that year and had the best year in history so they should have won the title. This Boston team is the 2 seed and the favorite in this series. Yeah they were down 0-3 but I expect them to come back here and win the series because they're supposed to.

Agreed..Cavs were +1000 down 3-1 & C's started at +950 (before being bet down to +800 within minutes) down 3-0. I specifically remembered the Cavs price cuz I parlayed that +1000 (once Green was suspended for G5) with the Sharks to beat the Penguins in G6 in the SC Finals to win 20k. Let's just say that series didn't go 7.

Oh stop it

Cleveland won Game 5 convincingly, because LeBron and Kyrie each went for 41 points. Draymond helps but he wasn’t the reason the Warriors lost that game

Those two guys for the Cavs were just on one, they weren’t losing that night. Two best players in the series

I'm normally not the "100% Lock Guy" but I feel this is as close to that as statistically possible. 1) It was always gonna eventually happen, 2) talent/injury discrepancy between both teams & 3) Butler just putting the "Finals nail" (pun intended) in the by guaranteeing they're winning G6. I still have 2 hardly certain tennis Futures so getting this right potentially means nothing unless they both win or I cashout at the right time.

then where were kyrie and lebron in games 1 through 4?

it was 3-1 for a reason.

look, i am not a GS fan and was rooting for Lebron to beat them. but it is extremely obvious that the Dray suspension changed the momentum. Lebron and Kyrie together don't go for 40+ points each with Dray on the floor. they had renewed energy with Dray off the floor. that suspension shifted the entire momentum of the series.

Cavs were sluggish in Games 1-2

Cavs absolutely curbstomped them in Game 3, then Game 4 was a competitive loss

Draymond is a great player but I doubt anything was going to stop the Cavs in Game 5. LeBron and Kyrie were just too good. Kyrie was godly efficient in that game in particular, Draymond was not going to be able to help stop that really.

Warriors fans said no way LeBron was going to drop 40+ the next game.....he dropped 41 again. And Draymond was on the floor

Yep and I agree with Chuck that he has to be great or else Miami won't win. Tatum can get away with an average game because the other guys on Boston have stepped up but Miami needs Butler to be a superstar and he hasn't been that the last three games.

Of course not, butler is the star and he's no where to be found

Wow!!

Series over

Man I wouldn't count the Heat out even though I think Boston is going to win in 7. They have heart although that ending had to rip their heart and soul out right there. It will be hard to recover from that but if any team can do it this Heat team can so I'm not counting them out even though I think Boston wins in 7.

History says Miami should win but everybody I would think it’s on Boston

You're too kind. Celtics are taking this. Celtics all in

That's because I want the Celtics to win and they scare me to death. They should win and Vegas expects this making them -340 on the ML and 8 point favorites but you never know. The Heat have Jimmy Butler and I don't expect him to have 4 bad games in a row. Even tonight where he struggled he damn near pulled victory out from the jaws of defeat at the end.

Sucks for the Heat put the point was Celtics should never have been -500+ to win series

Heat shouldn’t be 9 point dogs on Monday

Yep, nothing less than 8

Books seem to be begging you to take the Heat on Monday. 8 points is a lot of points and I'm not sure I like the total at 203 but I see another low scoing grind it out type game with the Under coming in so I might take the total to go under or the Celtics 1H again like I did in game 5.

 

[jjgold]

Under 203 a bad play now

I saw 206 and 207 openers
